Matters of the Heart

What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night and were feeling chest pains?

If you're a certain Great Aunt of mine you would:
  • Try to go back to sleep
  • Fold the clothes you washed earlier
  • Decide you are going to have to call an ambulance
  • But shower before you do
  • Struggle to unlock the door so the paramedics can get in
  • Once opening the door, see the paramedics downstairs and yell to them that they are looking for you
  • Kindly ask the paramedic why the heart monitor is nearly a straight line
  • Sigh when he tells you, you are having a heart attack

Thankfully she survived and is recovering in the hospital and she hasn't lost her sense of humor. Not bad for someone who is in their 80s.

**Note to self: Remember to buy aspirin...
